Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Taplow. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Taplow?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

I'm the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Taplow. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in September. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. Most banks would take a sensible view as this clause primarily exists to capture subsales or the flipping of properties.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Taplow bank branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Taplow conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the conveyancer is on the lender approved list, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
